Populist Alliances or Senseless Wars and Corporate Welfare
Ron Paul and Ralph Nader have an intriguing idea. While both know that there are significant ideological divides between their camps (and so neither are suggesting forming a political party together), they are proposing populist coalitions on some major issues. Interviewed together by host Andrew Napolitano (“Freedom Watch,” January 19, 2011), Nader began by explaining […]
The Tenfold Path to Guts, Solidarity, and the Defeat of the Corporate Elite
Many Americans know that the United States is not a democracy but a “corporatocracy,” in which we are ruled by a partnership of giant corporations, the extremely wealthy elite and corporate-collaborator government officials. However, the truth of such tyranny is not enough to set most of us free to take action. Too many of us […]

The Missing Piece in the Battle for U.S. Democracy
Activists routinely become frustrated when truths about lies and oppression don’t set people free to take action. But as a clinical psychologist who has worked with abused people for more than 25 years, it does not surprise me to see that when we as individuals or as a society eat crap for too long, we […]
Get Up, Stand Up”: Do Americans Have What It Takes to Stand Up to Corporate Power and Does Wisconsin Offer Hope?
Bruce Levine, in an interview with Susan Warner, discusses his upcoming book “Get Up, Stand Up,” which analyzes why Americans have been crushed into inaction and how recent events in Wisconsin offer hope for change.
